177Lu-PSMA-617 for the Treatment of Patients with Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer with Bone Marrow Involvement and Cytopenia

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well giving 177Lu-PSMA-617 works for treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic), that remains despite the surgical removal of the testes or medical intervention to block hormone production (castration resistant) and that has spread to the bone marrow. 177Lu-PSMA-617 is a radioactive drug. It binds to a protein called prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) receptor, which is found on some prostate tumor cells. 177Lu-PSMA-617 builds up in these cells and gives off radiation that may kill them. It is a type of radioconjugate and a type of PSMA ligand.
